To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES HENRY WOLFE, a subject of the King of GreatBritain and Ireland, and a resident of the city of Calgary, in theProvince of Alberta and the Dominion of Canada, having invented acertainnew and useful Stand for Use in Combination with a Golf Bag or the like,do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexactdescription of the same.

My invention relates to a new and useful stand for use in combinationwith a golf bag or the like with which it is sought" to accomplish thefollowing objects:

1. To provide a bag with an open month which shall have a means ofsupporting the mouth of the said bag in a raised position.

2. To rovide aj' raising and supporting means w ich will be portable,reliable and may be folded up when not in use.

'My device is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig.l'is a side view showing the bag with themouth raised from the ground.

Fig. 2 is an end view the twosupportin members in relation to the bag.

i 3 is a view showin the supporting mem ers closed up and old againstthe ig. 4 is an enlarged vertical side elevation of the joint betweenthe top plate of the supporting legs and the bag, and also shows thelegs in relation thereto.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the back of the legs showing how the twolegs are mounted and the automaticopening device for the said legs. I

Referring more articularly to the drawings in whlch 'simi ar lettersrefer to similar parts.

a, is a golf bag which is of the usual type and with stiffening rodstherein. A solid rin mouth piece is provided to which the on s of thestiffening rods are secured and exteriorly of the said ring a bracket 6,is. c, are mounted secured. Supporting leg? upon a plate member d, y apivot joint 6, and are connected together by folding members f, thepivot point 9, of which folding members is mounted in a member h,slidable along a guide 13 mounted upon the plate member 0?. A spring 74,is mounted between the pivot of the folding members and the baseof t eframing m, formed upon the plate d to open both the supporting legssimultaneously, an adjusting screw 11. being provided to vary thetension.

The plate (I, has lugs formed upon its upper end which lugs correspondwith and are connected to the lugs upon the bracket 6.

When closed, the legs 0, are held by the clips 0, mounted upon the baga, in a suitable position and the before described method of mountingthe legs together nocessitates the placing of one leg only within theclips 0, to retain both legs in the closed position. A clip 72, isprovided, pivoted upon the bracketmember 6, to engage upon the upperedge of the plate d, and retain the legs in position away from the bag.

What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patentis:
